'''Defining Merit Criteria:''' In a SERLO, "merit" is defined by the Deputy Head through three components:
* '''Essential Qualifications''': The baseline skills required for remaining positions
* '''Essential Qualifications''': The baseline skills, knowledge, and abilities required to perform the duties of the remaining positions. These are non-negotiable and must be met by all employees being considered for retention. Example: Required certification, language proficiency, or technical ability directly tied to the job.
* '''Asset Qualifications:''' Beneficial or added skills needed in an organizations.
* '''Asset Qualifications:''' Additional skills or experience that may benefit the organization now or in the future. Asset criteria should be applied carefully to avoid perpetuating systemic barriers. If the asset requires prior experience in tasks typically linked to promotional opportunities, it may disadvantage equity groups historically excluded from such opportunities. Asset qualifications should emphasize '''transferable skills''' rather than experience gained solely through acting or developmental assignments. ''Example:'' Ability to lead projects (demonstrated through various contexts, not only acting roles).
* '''Organizational Needs:''' Strategic priorities of the organization.
* '''Organizational Needs:''' Strategic priorities identified by the organization that can legitimately influence retention decisions. These may include employment equity objectives, official language requirements, or commitments under land claims agreements. Organizational needs must be documented and applied consistently, based on current workforce data and legal obligations, not personal preference. ''Example:'' Retaining employees from designated employment equity groups to meet representation goals.
'''Asset Qualifications:''' Barriers can be perpetuated based on how asset criteria is used in a SERLO process. If the Asset criteria requires previous experience completing a certain task, it may disadvantage groups which experiencing lower rates of promotion due to systemic discrimination. Asset criteria should focus on transferable skills and not on skills developed solely due to obtaining promotional assignments
